Polished Oregon Petrified Wood Bracelet

This is a beautiful bracelet made out of polished petrified wood. The petrified wood was collected in Oregon and is Miocene in age, or around 15 million years old. The contrasting colors of the wood grain make this a very unique piece of jewelry. The band stretches so it will accommodate many different sized wrists.

Petrified wood, or agatized wood is wood that's been fossilized through the process of permineralization. It must be buried rapidly before it decays. All the organic materials is replaced with minerals (mostly silicates), while retaining the original structures in the wood.
